Slipping out of Arizona

We drifted out of the shadow of the Superstition Mountains and started our trip through the home country of the Chirichua Apache. No sign of Geronimo or Cochise but we were ready just in case. There was a strong west wind helping our modern day Conestoga slip out under a cloudy sky. We actually were up around 10.5 MPG today so either the wind was helping or all that wax I have been putting on is working.

We stopped for the night in Las Cruces and Dennis and Denice joined us here for a run down to Mesilla for a little shopping and a lot of eating. Thanks for dinner folks. Tomorrow we are off for West Texas and miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles. Not the most exciting road in the world but it points in the right direction.

Cowboy Prayer

May God give you gentle horses,And an even trail to ride,Pure waters, greener pastures,And a good friend by your side,May you always have protection,From the northern winds that blow,And may you find God’s Blessingwherever you may go.

About Us

I retired from a Canadian Oil company in 2007 and after a couple of summers consulting for them we decided it was time to see North America. In the summers we like to be back in Alberta with our grandchildren, horses and the mountains close by. Winters it would be nice to be somewhere a little warmer, luckily our home has wheels and getting somewhere warm is just a matter of pulling in the slides and lifting the jacks and heading out.
